The sketches of World War I

World War I veteran Len Smith made daring trips into No Man's Land to make sketches of enemy positions which were then used to plan military strategy. His story and his drawings are to be made public for the first time. His great nephew Dave Mason, and historian Christy Campbell, discuss the man who always said he "would rather have a WC than a VC".
